Fishing is for us Young




Fishing is for
us
YOUNG
or at least
YOUNG
at heart

For old
guys its
about the
beer
and
maybe the
bravado
of the
catch

For me
its all
about the
bobber
that makes it
simple

I leave the drama
under the
waves
I get
plenty of
drama every day
who needs
more


I just
focus on the
bobber and
dream
until the
fish
strikes and
I
conquer

The Peace of the Lake





Top Gun: The Biggest Fish





When You're
Top
Gun
You can lose a few
and still
cast quickly
and win
the
prize

It Felt Like a Whale

Some Serious Fishing



Size Doesn't Matter---the poem

It's not
the biggest lure
not the biggest
fisherman
Not the biggest boat
those guys hire
guides

Fresh Not Frozen---the poem




Fresh
means
just caught
not frozen
in any
way

Fish is
best
taken from
the boat
and cooked on
shore
FRESH

Fresh
means nimble
not
frozen or
rigid in
any way

People
are best
fresh too
riding the wave
ready for the
new

How about you?
fresh
or
frozen

The Biggest Steak---the poem

 
Posted by Picasa

The
Navy
Man
had a wish
a graduation
wish
just
one large
steak

Every
warrior
Every
David needs
a sling
to beat Goliath
the
steak
gives the
strength
beats the
fear
excites the
sprit

The family
watched
gathered
around
only coffee
to share
just to
watch the
feast
o.k.
maybe icecream
maybe

All the
entries
All
the
courses just
so
the Navy
Man
took it
slow
and conquered that
steak
42 ounces
tall

Reunion


Reunions
are nice
gathering in the
heat
Iowa of course
eating potato salad
before it
goes bad

Fishing is
better somehow
feeling
the wind
getting away
I think
I choose fishing

The Theory of Old Fishermen---a Review

The old
fishermen
get old
because they
wanted too
that's the
theory of
the
young

I'd love
to be a newbie
fishing for
the first time
wondering
just what
the fish
are hungry
for

Ya can't
worry about the
fish
and yourself
at the same
time without an
accident
so
be safe
find peace
worry about the
fish

For the Runner Athlete--fishing is easy



Wind sprints
are tough
but fishing
is
easy
I can do
both
and
beat
you at both

It's Fish Eating Time




Eating Fish
means
never counting
the calories
the sky's
the
limit

No small
bites
please
just bite
for the
gusto of
the moment

Kids get that
gusto
thing
they know they
got plenty of time
to count
calories
Later

The Bait Matters---the poem



The
bait lures
the fish
you
are the fisherman
not the
bait

The fisherperson
can
be boy
or girl
young
or old
weak
or
strong
but always
strong of
heart

Baiting
your own
hook
means
you
are ready
for the
bigtime
